LAW OFFICES OF W. RUSSELL TOATES
As both a principal in a real estate investment firm and an in-house general counsel, I have been responsible
for the structure and implementation of numerous homeowner associations and condominium regimes in
multiple states, and private “residents only” clubs.  Condominium and HOA developments have been free
standing associations, have been designed for urban infill locations, and have been structured as associations
within larger master-planned developments; all with extensive master developer controls.

  • Coordinated land planning and legal issues to establish master and subsidiary homeowner
    association covenants and restrictions, and private club structure, for three multi-phase projects
    each in excess of 1,000 acres.  Each project had multiple association and homeowner groups.

  • Coordinated documents and restrictions for operation of “residents only” private clubs as part of
    large master planned communities.

  • Developed covenants, conditions and restrictions for operation of suburban office parks.

  • Structured covenants, conditions and restrictions for multiple single-family residential communities.

  • Structured HOA and associated marketing documents for active adult/age restricted communities.

  • Managed turnover of control of homeowner and condominium associations to residents at end of
    “control period”.
